Dead River Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Had five consecutive good trips including a half day that boasted 22 shoalies and 4 spots I've caught 5 fish 4 lbs or larger this year, catching the same 4 lb 12 oz fish twice on consecutive days albeit under different circumstances. That fish was a tie for my pb. Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Sweet fish! Cool looking spot! Those rocks look like sweet structure Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 23, 2014 Super User Posted May 23, 2014 Yes, beautiful location reminds me of a few spots. Nice fish... They are quite large for the water I would say.... Congratulations on on great fishing trip! Quote
stk Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Thats pretty awesome, I've never seen a bass with that pattern before. Great job and great fish! Quote
speed craw Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I could be mistaken , but aren't shoal bass only native to georgia , possibly alabama , tn ? Quote
HeavyFisher Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 That looks like a wicked awesome place to fish. Quote
boostr Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Thats pretty awesome, I've never seen a bass with that pattern before. Great job and great fish! That's how you can tell a Shoal lm bass from any other lm bass. Quote
Dead River Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 they're not a lm bass. they are a shoal bass. native to Georgia, part of Florida and Chattahoochee tributaries in Alabama http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoal_bass Quote
Dead River Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 yes they can be caught in skinny water but I assure you that river is quite large. you are just seeing a finger of it there. Quote
Dead River Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 in Georgia they are native to the flint and hooch which form the appalachiacola (sp?) after lake Seminole. there is also a well established non-indigenous population in the Ocmulgee and purportedly other rivers in Georgia. Georgia also boasts a non-indigenous smallmouth bass population in the savannah river and also in a small portion of the Chattahoochee which also features spots, shoalies, and lm - crowded huh? Quote

Dead River Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Well I knew they were a special type of bass. that they are, they are one of the most beautiful and most hard fighting if not the of all the black bass. Quote
